Mission managers have given the go for Thursday’s spacewalk to install a new roll-out solar array on the International Space Station’s port-side truss structure.
Spacewalking tools and a pair of robotics jobs topped Tuesday’s schedule aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 75 crew members also kept up their scientific duties configuring botany research hardware and setting up advanced Earth observation gear.
Expedition 75 began the week gearing up for a spacewalk to upgrade the International Space Station’s power generation system. Research into bioprinted blood vessels and relaxation techniques, as well cargo operations rounded out Monday’s schedule.
The Expedition 75 crew worked on a 3D bioprinter and a levitation furnace at the end of the week to advance health and high-temperature physics. Two astronauts are also preparing for a spacewalk at the International Space Station as NASA announces the status of upcoming Moon missions.
The Expedition 75 crew had a busy day on Thursday bioprinting blood vessels and trying on a spacesuit aboard the International Space Station. The orbital residents also trained to use a pair of robotic arms and set up Earth photography sessions to round out the day in low Earth orbit.
Spacesuit checks topped Wednesday’s task list aboard the International Space Station as two astronauts prepare for a spacewalk next week. The Expedition 75 crew members also kept up advanced microgravity research exploring space agriculture and the respiratory system midweek.
